In this episode originally on THE Bitcoin Podcast, I had an intense and unfiltered conversation with Walker, where we dove into some hard truths about the nature of government, the fiat system, and the illusion of ownership in modern society. We discussed how true prosperity stems from good money and community-driven trade, while government and fiat act as destructive forces. I likened both to cancer—something that can't just be treated but must be completely removed to allow society to heal.We also touched on topics like FEMA, Hurricane Helene, and how corruption permeates the system, keeping poverty as the default state for most people. This was a raw and valuable conversation, offering perspectives that challenge the mainstream narrative and are well worth sharing.

"These findings are notable because they demonstrate that even though the strength of the correlation may vary based on the time frame, Bitcoin’s price direction generally aligns with the direction of global liquidity. Furthermore, its price direction more closely mirrors global liquidity than any other traditional asset analyzed." — Sam Callahan If Bitcoin was set to become the purest price signal in the global economy, how might that manifest before it became a more widespread medium of exchange, and still played mostly the role of risk asset in global markets? Would it maybe provide the clearest, least affected by other arbitrary supply changes, market conditions, or jurisdictional economic effects than any other asset? Might it already be the best asset in the world for a directional correlation with global liquidity and a mirror for the money supply than every other traditional asset? What if we had analysis that suggested exactly this? Sam Callahan and Lyn Alden bring us this incredible investigation into Bitcoin's role in the global economy, and how it may already be telling us more than we realize.
